Frequently asked questions

First officer pilot jobs are highly demanding in nature, requiring years of education and training. After an undergraduate degree in air transport or the likes of it, one is required to clear tests and earn relevant certifications, like private and commercial pilot certificates, in order to gain the necessary flying hours to become a first officer.

After graduating from a flying school, you'll earn a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) and an Instrumental Rating (IR). These two combine to form a 'frozen ATPL'. At this stage you can apply for openings as a first officer. After the completion of 1,500 flying hours, the ATPL can unfreeze and you are eligible to start applying for the captain jobs in airlines.

With the mushroom demand for pilots in aviation, there has been a boom in the first officer recruitment. They get paid handsomely and fairly for flying the aircraft. Even though the salary depends upon various factors like the type of employer, aircraft or the routes taken by them, the average salary is usually satisfactory.

A first officer assists the captain during the landing, take-off, and the whole flight. They also take the place of captain in case they are unable to fly the plane due to any reason. A first officer supervises and inspects the aircraft for any potential malfunction. Copilot jobs also involve communicating with the air traffic control during the flight.

Individual who opts for a copilot career is the second pilot or the first officer (FO) of an aircraft. After the captain, who is the commander of the aircraft, they are the ones who are in command, often assuming the role of the captain. The distribution of control over the aircraft is shared normally between the captain and the first officer.

Description

First Officer Job Description 

A first officer is fundamentally the second pilot or the copilot of an aircraft. Their duties and control over the aircraft resemble that of the captain, but differ in that they guide and assist the captain during a normal flight, and coordinate directly with the control towers. They steadily coordinate between air traffic controllers and the captain, inspecting the aircraft to make sure there aren’t any faulty parts. In case of the captain’s incapacitation, they take full control over flying the aircraft. First officer jobs also involve managing the aircraft operations during an emergency situation. You can get more information regarding the latest first officer openings on Aviation Job Search. 

First Officer Job Responsibilities

First officer pilot jobs are quite challenging, demanding a combination of both educational competence, and technical knowledge. They coordinate with the Captain of the aircraft in managing the aircraft operations and communicate with the air traffic controller to take the directions. The first officer drafts the flight plan along with the Captain prior to the takeoff and also takes control of flying whenever required. First officers are certified pilots who inform the captain of any anomalies in flight operations. So, before applying for first officer vacancies, individuals should keep in mind that they meet all the criteria. If you want to avail such opportunities,visit the Aviation Job Search. 

Skills Required For Building First Officer Career

As much as a good educational background and training is required to get into a copilot career, these alone just aren’t enough. Operation monitoring, technical dexterity, active listening, critical thinking and complex problem-solving are the key skills required for a first officer’s career. One needs to multitask as a copilot. Coordinating with air traffic controllers, guiding the captain, inspecting any potential dangers, and being on the guard for any unexpected situation are some of the tasks that a first officer undertakes all at once. Patience and great attention to detail is also required in order to fly the aircraft safely and efficiently.
